THE VENETIAN

The Venetian Classic and Signature

For many years customers have asked Martyn to make a single cut guitar. His cautious resistance to the idea, fuelled by concerns about accusations of plagiarism and subsequent legal challenge, was finally overcome waking up from a eureka moment dream! The solution had been staring him in the face for decades – since the very first drawings of his Classic guitar in 1979!

Just fill in the top cutaway, keep the Venetian cutaway shape and control layout and the result is a guitar with an obvious “Martyn Booth” theme and integrity of design.

And why not just call it “The Venetian”
